From Benares, Mr.Law and myself travelled in a post-dock to Allahabad.

The distance, which amounts to seventy-six miles, occupies about twelve or thirteen hours.

We left the sacred town on the 7th of January, 1848, at 6 o'clock in the evening, and early in the morning found ourselves already near Allahabad, at a long bridge of boats which here crosses the Ganges.
We left the post-dock, and were carried in palanquins to the hotel, about a mile further on.

When we arrived there, we found it so occupied by some officers of a regiment on the march, that my travelling companion was received only upon condition that he would content himself with a place in the public-room.
